Given below are the abnormal conditions related to blood circulation. Name the disorders.
$(a)$ Acute chest pain due to failure of $O_{2}$ supply to heart muscles
$(b)$ Increased systolic pressure

Solution

(A) This condition is known as 'Angina Pectoris'. It occurs when there is an inadequate supply of oxygen to the heart muscles,leading to acute chest pain.
$(b)$ This condition is known as 'Hypertension' (High Blood Pressure),which refers to a persistent increase in systolic or diastolic blood pressure.
52
MediumMCQ
Which coronary artery disease is caused due to the narrowing of the lumen of arteries?
A
Atherosclerosis
B
Angina
C
Heart failure
D
Cardiac arrest

Solution

(A) Coronary artery disease,often referred to as $Atherosclerosis$,affects the vessels that supply blood to the heart muscle.
It is caused by the deposition of calcium,fat,cholesterol,and fibrous tissues,which makes the lumen of the arteries narrower.
This narrowing restricts the blood flow to the heart muscle,leading to various complications.
53
MediumMCQ
Select the correct option for high blood pressure.
A
It is also known as hypertension.
B
High blood pressure leads to heart disease.
C
It affects the brain and kidneys.
D
All of the above.

Solution

(D) High blood pressure,medically known as $Hypertension$,is a condition where the blood pressure is higher than the normal range $(120/80 \ mmHg)$.
$1$. It is indeed called $Hypertension$.
$2$. Persistent high blood pressure puts extra strain on the heart,leading to various heart diseases.
$3$. It causes damage to vital organs such as the brain and kidneys by affecting the blood vessels supplying them.
Therefore,all the given statements are correct.
54
MediumMCQ
What is the full form of $CAD$?
A
Coronary Artery Disease
B
Coronary Aorta Disease
C
Coronary Arrest Disease
D
Cardiac Aorta Disease

Solution

(A) $CAD$ stands for Coronary Artery Disease.
It is a condition that affects the blood vessels of the heart.
It is often caused by the deposition of calcium,fat,cholesterol,and fibrous tissues,which makes the lumen of the coronary arteries narrower.
55
MediumMCQ
The deposition of calcium,fat,cholesterol,and fibrous tissues in the lumen of arteries causes:
A
Hypertension
B
Atherosclerosis
C
Angina pectoris
D
Arteriosclerosis

Solution

(B) Atherosclerosis is a specific type of arteriosclerosis characterized by the deposition of calcium,fat,cholesterol,and fibrous tissues in the lumen of arteries.
This deposition narrows the arterial lumen,thereby reducing blood flow and increasing blood pressure.
Hypertension refers to high blood pressure.
Angina pectoris is chest pain due to reduced blood flow to the heart muscle.
Arteriosclerosis is a general term for the hardening and thickening of artery walls.
56
MediumMCQ
Select the correct option for $Angina$ $pectoris$.
A
It is a chest pain that occurs when the heart muscle does not get enough oxygen.
B
It is more common in middle-aged and elderly people.
C
It is a condition that affects blood flow.
D
All of the above.

Solution

(D) $Angina$ $pectoris$ is a disorder related to the heart.
When the heart muscle does not receive an adequate supply of oxygen,it results in chest pain,which is known as $Angina$ $pectoris$.
This condition arises due to a reduction or obstruction in blood flow to the heart muscles.
It is commonly observed in middle-aged and elderly individuals.
Therefore,all the given options are correct.
57
MediumMCQ
The condition in which the heart is not pumping blood effectively enough to meet the needs of the body is called:
A
Angina pectoris
B
Atherosclerosis
C
Hypertension
D
Heart failure

Solution

(D) Heart failure,sometimes known as congestive heart failure,is the state of the heart when it is not pumping blood effectively enough to meet the needs of the body.
It is different from cardiac arrest (when the heart stops beating) or a heart attack (when the heart muscle is suddenly damaged by an inadequate blood supply).
$A$. Angina pectoris is chest pain due to reduced blood flow to the heart.
$B$. Atherosclerosis is the deposition of calcium,fat,cholesterol,and fibrous tissues in the arteries.
$C$. Hypertension is high blood pressure.
Therefore,the correct option is $D$.
58
MediumMCQ
Select the correct option regarding the disorders of the circulatory system.
A
$A$. Heart Arrest - Severe chest pain; Heart Attack - Heart stops beating.
B
$B$. Heart Arrest - Heart muscles are damaged by inadequate blood supply; Heart Attack - Heart stops beating.
C
$C$. Heart Arrest - Heart stops beating; Heart Attack - Heart muscles are damaged by inadequate blood supply.

EasyMCQ
Given below are two statements regarding silent heart attack.
Statement $I$: This type of heart attack shows symptoms like chest pain and shortness of breath.
Statement $II$: In this type of heart attack,usually the person shows very mild symptoms and thus it is ignored.
In the light of the above two statements,choose the correct answer from the options given below.
A
Both statement $I$ and statement $II$ are correct.
B
Both statement $I$ and statement $II$ are incorrect.
C
Statement $I$ is correct but statement $II$ is incorrect.
D
Statement $I$ is incorrect but statement $II$ is correct.

Solution

(D) silent heart attack,also known as a silent myocardial infarction $(SMI)$,is a heart attack that lacks the classic,intense symptoms of a typical heart attack.
Statement $I$ is incorrect because the hallmark of a silent heart attack is the absence of typical,noticeable symptoms such as severe chest pain or acute shortness of breath.
Statement $II$ is correct because individuals experiencing a silent heart attack often exhibit very mild or atypical symptoms,such as fatigue,indigestion,or discomfort that is easily mistaken for other minor issues,leading the person to ignore the condition.
Therefore,statement $I$ is incorrect and statement $II$ is correct.
62
EasyMCQ
Arterial inelasticity or hardening of arteries in human is called . . . . . . .
A
atherosclerosis
B
bradycardia
C
arteriosclerosis
D
tachycardia

Solution

(C) Arteriosclerosis is the general term for the thickening,hardening,and loss of elasticity of the walls of arteries.
This condition restricts blood flow to organs and tissues.
Atherosclerosis is a specific type of arteriosclerosis where the hardening is caused by the buildup of fats,cholesterol,and other substances in and on the artery walls.
Bradycardia refers to a slower than normal heart rate.
Tachycardia refers to a faster than normal heart rate.
Therefore,the correct term for the hardening of arteries is arteriosclerosis.
63
EasyMCQ
Atherosclerosis is caused due to
A
Deposition of calcium,fats,and cholesterol in arteries.
B
Inflammation of alveoli of lungs.
C
Decreased iodine levels in blood.
D
Inflammation of larynx and vocal cords.

Solution

(A) Atherosclerosis is a cardiovascular disease characterized by the hardening and narrowing of the arteries.
It occurs due to the deposition of calcium,fats,cholesterol,and other substances in the arterial walls.
This buildup,known as plaque,restricts blood flow and can lead to serious complications like heart attacks or strokes.
Therefore,the correct option is $A$.
64
EasyMCQ
Heart attack is also called . . . . . . .
A
Arteriosclerosis
B
Angina pectoris
C
Bradycardia

Deposition of fatty substances in the lining of arteries is termed as . . . . . . .
A
Arteriosclerosis
B
Atherosclerosis
C
Arthritis
D
Angiogenesis

Solution

(B) Atherosclerosis is a specific type of arteriosclerosis characterized by the buildup of fats,cholesterol,and other substances in and on the artery walls (plaques).
This accumulation restricts blood flow and can lead to serious cardiovascular complications.
Arteriosclerosis is a general term for the hardening of arteries,while Arthritis refers to joint inflammation,and Angiogenesis is the formation of new blood vessels.

EasyMCQ
Heaviness with severe chest pain which may disappear with rest indicates:
A
Angina pectoris
B
Atherosclerosis
C
Arteriosclerosis
D
Hyperthyroidism

Solution

(A) $Angina$ $pectoris$ is a condition characterized by acute chest pain that occurs when the heart muscle does not receive enough oxygenated blood.
This condition is often caused by the narrowing of coronary arteries due to the accumulation of fat or plaque.
It is commonly described as a feeling of heaviness or pressure in the chest.
One of the hallmark characteristics of $Angina$ $pectoris$ is that the pain often subsides or disappears with rest,as the oxygen demand of the heart muscle decreases.
67
EasyMCQ
Hypertension is not caused by
A
Anemia
B
Atherosclerosis
C
Arteriosclerosis
D
Obesity

Solution

(A) Hypertension,or high blood pressure,is a condition where the force of blood against the artery walls is consistently too high.
$Atherosclerosis$ (buildup of fats/cholesterol in arteries),$Arteriosclerosis$ (hardening of arteries),and $Obesity$ are all known risk factors that contribute to increased blood pressure.
$Anemia$ is a condition characterized by a deficiency of red blood cells or hemoglobin,which reduces the oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood.
While $Anemia$ can lead to an increased heart rate to compensate for low oxygen delivery,it is not a direct cause of hypertension; in fact,severe anemia can sometimes lead to low blood pressure or hypotension.
68
EasyMCQ
Read the statements $A$ and $B$ and select the correct option.
$Statement A$: Atherosclerosis is a disease characterized by the thickening of arterial walls.
$Statement B$: Deposition of cholesterol and triglycerides in the arterial walls causes atherosclerosis.
A
$Statement A$ is correct,$B$ is incorrect
B
Both the statements are correct but not related to each other.
C
Both the statements are correct and $B$ is the reason for $A$
D
Both the statements are incorrect.

Solution

(C) The correct option is $C$.
$Statement A$ is correct because atherosclerosis is indeed a condition where the arterial walls become thickened and lose their elasticity.
$Statement B$ is also correct because this thickening is primarily caused by the accumulation or deposition of fatty substances like cholesterol and triglycerides within the inner lining of the arteries.
Since the deposition described in $B$ is the direct pathological cause of the thickening described in $A$,$B$ is the reason for $A$.
